Hey I'm Dave in Harmony FL. I don't currently own a Civic, but I'm looking for one. I need a car to get back and forth to school and work, and my truck blew a head gasket and the head cylinder basically disintegrated. I'm looking for a late 80's or early 90's Hatchback preferably, and hoping to pick it up for $1500ish, really can't go higher than that. Not really afraid to fix her up, I just don't want to do anything major on the motor, and REALLY don't want to do anything with the transmission.

I'll try to post pics if I acquire one.

 

Whats up? Tell us some more about yourself. How old are you? What do you drive currently?

 

I'm attending FIT with a major in Astrophysics, I'm part of the Chi Phi fraternity here, I'm kind of a shy guy till you get to know me, grew up in Orlando, don't really speak much, I like working on cars. I throw darts, I juggle, I do origami, and I'm starting to surf. I used to drive a 1987 Toyota Pickup with a carburated 22R. I'm currently driving nothing, my truck totaled itself last Tuesday and I haven't had a chance to replace it yet. Parents Drive a 2005 Honda Odyssey and I really like it, but I want something smaller, hence why I'm liking the looks of the Civics I'm seeing for sale around here.

 

Welcome. You'll probably wanna look into a 92-95 hatch. You'll want to look for an EX trim level which has all the power options and the moon roof.

 

^ I second that...thats a nice model and all of the extras are nice for a daily driver plus that model is just sexay as hell haha btw welcome to the site bro, these guys will help yah out a lot so dont be afraid to get on here a lot and ask any Q's u may have

 

I was actually thinking about getting this one: http://orlando.craigslist.org/cto/1661426128.html

The flat black is a bit to dark IMO, but a few cans of yellow spray should fix that up. I Googled the 92-95 EX hatchback and its a pretty sweet looking car. I'll definitely see if there's any in my area for my budget.

I was also thinking about maybe getting this awesome little Honda: http://orlando.craigslist.org/cto/1669229062.html
^Just because it would be cool. I'll have to learn how to drive a manual transmission though, I've only done it once and it turn my friends Hummer into a mechanical bull.

Thanks for the advice guys.

 

Welcomee I'm a little late but that never hurt.. I third the eg hatch ex good car! But the dx's are nice too!

 

Yeah I'm definitely looking for a EX. I like having a cruise control.

 

I know I wanted a hatchback, but I'm liking the looks of this car:

Exterior looks nice, interior looks pristine. Originally owned by a woman so it probably doesn't smell like mud, feet and BO like all the others I've looked at.

 

Hahaha daym looks clean but be careful...u see how that add says "has vtec motor"...BULL ****! theyre trying to talk up their car if anything it has a VTEC valve cover on it...it looks like it could be promising tho...go for it.
